I joined CSIx when I was job hunting. CSIX is a great place to get yourself prepared to get back to the job market. The weekly meeting in Saratoga helps members share job leads, practice communication skills and there are great speakers too!

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Great way to meet people and network. The weekly presentations were helpful and I have made contacts beyond my job search. I am still in contact with the group thru the weekly hike. CSIX allows drop ins and a short 1 1/12 weekly meeting to stay connected. Some other job seeking groups require considerable volunteer hours to participate. Additional volunteer hours are needed to produce the programs and infrastructure, but it is flexible. The resume workshops include real companies who hire some employees from the workshop.

CSIX is a great organization. Each weekly organized meeting has job leads, networking, informational presentation and concludes with lunch. I highly recommend attending these meetings when you are between jobs. You may even get connect to your next job.

This is an excellent organization to help job seekers get job leads, contacts inside targeted companies and network with people. In addition to excellent weekly speakers, they sponsor Panel Resume review workshops with HR and recruiters from high tech companies. This is an opportunity to have your resume reviewed and receive feedback on the spot. Many have resulted in interviews. The environment is very supported and professional. Highly recommend job seekers to attend and volunteer at CSIX Connect.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

A great resource for job seekers in the bay area. The speakers they get are invaluable, from Recruiters who tell you how the system "really" works and how to get noticed, to others who know how to get the most out of newer tools like LinkedIn. Or even just general inspirational speakers that get you fired up about your career.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Honestly I could not have found a better organization to volunteer with. I came out of college with no career path insight. My alumnae did nothing but when I came into this organization they opened their arms to me and really taught me quickly the power of a team. The team here makes you feel that this is a team and a battle we are fighting ALL TOGETHER versus AGAINST each other.
